The working homeless is not a class of people I ever really considered to be possible or exist until now. Sure, some people were in varying states of poor or missing housing sometimes especially when transitioning into a working role before now.... That isn't ideal, but it happened.
But this isn't that. This is working full time and being unable to have housing. Where its not transient, or temporary, it's that you're homeless and you have a job, but simply cannot afford to live in a home.
Crazy thought.
